this may not be helpful at i cry at everything (i cried when they started singing flashlight in pitch perfect 2) but this link is my list of films that made me cry: https://boxd.it/cI9qE
i do this with a couple in particular, whenever i feel like having a good crying session: the final scenes in call me by your name and normal people. it's pretty much automatic, especially with normal people. i know exactly what the characters are going to say and when, but i still cry every time. it doesn't matter how many times i've seen it. the scene will always carry the same emotions and be able to access the same ones within me. what a privilege it is to be profoundly moved by something.
black queer history is FULL of forgotten legends who have shaped mainstream culture and continue to have a lasting impact on fashion, language, art & performance. Paris Is Burning immortalises and preserves the legacy and the stories of the people featured in this film along with the spaces, community and families they created for themselves in a society that consistently marginalised and discriminated against them.
this is an essential watch!!!
